Our thoughts and condolences go out to the families who have endured the pain of losing
their loved ones in this journey. We pray that Allah SWT receive their souls and the souls of
all the faithful departed in the highest Al Jannah.
The “back way” phenomenon reflects a complex set of challenges that our nation faces. It is
a manifestation of the economic hardships, limited job prospects, and a lack of hope for a
better future that some of our youth experience.
As a party UDP is committed to the welfare and advancement of the Gambian people, we
recognize the urgency of addressing these underlying issues. We firmly believe that a
prosperous Gambia is built on the potential and contributions of its youth. It is our collective
responsibility to create an environment where they can thrive, feel hope for the future, and
see opportunities at home.
We call on all Gambians to unite in our commitment to finding practical solutions to this
issue. The loss of any young life is a loss to the entire nation. Let us work together to ensure
a brighter, safer, and more prosperous future for our youth within the borders of our beloved
Gambia.
